BRAC Bank PLC reported a 38 percent year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit after tax (NPAT) to Tk 2,121 crore in the first nine months of 2026, driven by its diversified businesses, strong governance and customer-focused strategy.

The profit stood at Tk 1,536 crore in the corresponding period of 2025, according to a press release.

The bank disclosed this information at a virtual earnings event on Monday, attended by local and international investors, research analysts, portfolio managers and capital market professionals.

On a standalone basis, NPAT rose 50 percent year-on-year to Tk 1,584 crore from Tk 1,055 crore a year earlier. Despite a challenging macroeconomic and industry environment, BRAC Bank continued to outperform the market, delivering strong balance sheet growth.

Compared with December 2025, customer deposits increased 16 percent, while loans and advances grew 7 percent.

The bank also improved its operational efficiency, reducing its cost-to-income ratio to 41 percent at the end of September 2026 from 46 percent in the corresponding period of 2025, reflecting its focus on productivity, cost discipline and digital transformation.

Commenting on the financial results, Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, managing director and CEO of the bank, said, “Our third-quarter performance reflects the strength of our business model, prudent governance and disciplined execution.”

“Continued customer confidence has enabled us to deliver growth well above the market while maintaining one of the industry’s strongest asset quality indicators.”

“We will stay focused on creating sustainable long-term value for our customers, shareholders and the economy,” he said.
